Marcio Amoroso could well be on his way to Celtic as Henrik Larsson's replacement according to his agent. The Brazilian striker is to spend a few days at Parkhead and was today set to meet with manager Martin O'Neill. The 29-year-old had his contract at Borussia Dortmund terminated earlier in the year after a number of bust-ups with the German club's officials.
He is a free agent and has been in Britain for almost two weeks, with Portsmouth, Bolton and Middlesbrough all said to be interested. But the player's advisor, Nivaldo Baldo, who also doubles as his physiotherapist, insisted Celtic are a club he would also consider joining.
He said: "It's possible, very real. They treated us very well and we are impressed. Celtic would not have brought us here to make a deal if they could not afford him. If they want it it is possible."
